The ad has made national news and been denounced by both those on the right and the left.

When asked for comment, however, the Tennessee Democratic Party treads carefully on the controversy over the use of Klan imagery by Nikki Tinker to attack Congressman Steve Cohen. From TNDP Party Chair Gray Sasser:
